VtBowhunter

Been a long while since I've been in, so I figured I'd stop in and say hello. Spent the better part of the last few years getting clean and getting back to the important things in life......Family and the outdoors. Hope you are all having a safe hunting season.

My buddy shot an old PSE for 10 years, and we were always razing him about shooting the same bow Geronimo used, lol. He finally went through all the bows, testing each companies best, and he bought the General also......He loves it. Good choice.

Arrow32, I was down bowhunting during the first week of your bowseason, and we saw a lot of bucks chasing and even called and rattled in a few small ones. Seems like your rut kicked in very early this year......at least around Lewis County.

I was shocked when I heard Mathews was putting out a cam 1/2 bow. I remember them saying that dual and cam 1/2 bows were not trustworthy and nobody should ever shoot anything but solo-cams. Now we all know that was just business and advertsing, but it does seem like back peddling. As for the new bows.......5" brace height.....WOW!!!!! I hope the folks that buy this get themselves a titanium armguard, LMAO. That's not going to be very forgiving, but I bet folks with great form will love it. I'll stick with my Vectrix and maybe get a Katera or the newest Hoyt for 09.

I agree....Turner over Portis.....he's more likely to punch in the goal line TD's You've got one tough match-up that's for sure.

Got back from West Virginia last saturday. Arrowed a pair of does, but no bucks this year. I'll get the doe pics up soon enough. Congrats, nj.

I'll be hunting Vermont, West Virginia, and now New Hampshire......my father just got us prime land to hunt in NH, and their season opens next week......woohoo.

I sent TexasTrophies a PM that we liked BuckBusters.

Checking in. How about LungBusters or BuckBusters?

We've had an unbelievable year for poults this year. I'm curious......could it be that the poults are already off on their own? I know they've grown quite large around here already and they're going off on their own. Seen some alone in our fields.

If I get a good group to start and then a few "Flyers" and I know my gear is solid, then I would assume I'm shooting too many arrows too quickly, and I'd stop for a while and come back later.

Tedi, we did walk right past your site, lol. We just had our club 3D Jamboree last weekend and a few of the catamount guys came up to it. If you've never shot their course, then you're in for a pretty good one.......but practice your distance shots. They like to stretch some out, but it's fun.

Every year we head to West Virginia for our annual bowhunt. It always takes place the weekend after our season opens, so we all scheduled it that way for this year......well I guess the leap year changed their season and it's two weeks after ours opens. It's a good thing I got this PC fixed and was looking at the WV DNR site, or we would have been there a week early and in some trouble. I'm glad that everyone was able to get their vacation times changed so close to October.....this could have been a disaster, lol. I see they are also holding a 3 day hunt in the park where we stay in november.......It's about time. Those deer all look so sickly from starving as a result to over population. So if any of you WV hunters get a tag for this hunt at Stonewall Jackson, good luck to you. You'll being doing a great thing for that herd. Everyone that's traveling to hunt this year, be sure to check hunting dates for your trip, lol. Darn leap year!!!

I know a woman here that was almost ready to give birth (within a couple weeks) when she climbed into a treestand and arrowed a nice buck. After having her baby a little over a week later, she was back at it, and shot another nice buck during the rifle season.
